The Verse of Perseverance

[Music]

so

being a rapper and having and stammering

problem

is something which you will not hear

it’s a rare thing but

i practiced then you know it all

happened

my name if you don’t know me my name is

viveka arora

also known as karma i am a rapper

eminem and i was like who’s this guy

and he he he just you know stared at me

and he was like you don’t know eminem

i was like i don’t know him and that was

the first time

somebody played hip-hop in front of me

and i fell in love instantly with this

art form

because i’m a big introvert i don’t talk

much if you don’t know me i won’t talk

to you

on your face but if you know me then

there’s a whole different story about it

and uh so when i used to

write because jesse many hip-hop sunnah

man

you know i i want to i wanted to

you know dig deep so many hip-hop sunnah

like and i felt okay yeah this is what i

want to do because this is

giving me the power to speak whatever i

want to say in a way

jokey directly hit curry because

although i was an introvert although i

was in big

introvert but things and ideas were

always jumping in my mind

you know i was lacking confident

confidence

as well but

i started trapping and hip-hop gave me

the power to

be as open as

as you can say honest about my feelings

and i i

rode my liquor and it gave me the power

so i

decided that yes i want to do this but

usually beats me both side problems see

i had to convince my family

manage my career that how to do what are

the answers

to and i come from a joint family a

middle class joint family i’m

i’m from dehradun i’m born and brought

up here so germany

family say bhakti they were like

if you want to do it then do it so it

was not

it was a big confusion but

i i told my father and he said that yes

if you want to do it then you do it but

you should have a backup plan and he was

absolutely right because that’s what uh

that’s what an intelligent man would

advise

okay okay you want to do it then do it

back up plan leakage hello he told me

that and instantly i was like you were

right about it

so many

a americans course kelly applicant we

got admission in there but

all those times

[Music]

now my mind was talking rap to me

i was writing i was i was you know just

making songs

and my you know and then after merry

christmas

i got a call from arunachal pradesh they

wanted me to perform in a

music festival and they said that they

will cover my travel ex

expenses and that was enough for me for

that time

i i got excited of course but

the plot twist was that now the date

they wanted me to

perform on was the same day jumeirah

with me and i decided that i’m going to

perform so i left my bac

i went there i performed

and that was my first major gig and i

got a huge

response a crazy one we got standing

ovation as well and that was the time i

cleared my mind and i was like you know

i wanna i wanna do

rap i wanna be a rapper i wanna do i i

wanna live this life

now of course i came like i i came back

home called it

i came back i told this to my family of

course they supported me but

they were upset as well they had so many

questions for me

but meredith subscription

jobs are back back offices

hotel just may not put data into new

birthday i was doing that for like maybe

six months and then maybe three years or

sorry two years in call center

uh

that’s it so i was not waiting for any

big camera or anything i was just using

youtube because that was a free platform

i was using it i was

putting videos back to back 8k body and

then

one day uh

november 2017

rafter he’s a big name

in the scene he was having

a show in my city and after party

[Music]

he said that he liked my work and he

wants me to you know he want to sign me

under his label from that call i knew

that things are going to

change now so i told this to my father

and he was happy

i was everybody was happy and proud

because this is what i wanted to do and

this is what

because having a label to back you up

is a is a good thing in this industry

you know there are so many things you

don’t have to deal with then

but just before yehota

i lost my father in an accident same

year last

last day of the year i i lost him and

voice he

still germany could be so so now all of

a sudden the

responsibilities were on me

and uh i was the head of the family i

had to

put the food on the table so so many

things all of a sudden were on my

shoulders

so in order to you know

in that was my time to prove that you

know what i stand for and what i talk

about

you know be strong this that so i

started working

in a in an atm as an atm guard

i did that job for like one month maybe

and then uh

delivery boy as well for 15 to

20 days because after that i got a call

from my

team saying that you know everything has

been done like the paperwork and all you

can come and

proceed like we can proceed further

so now my first song from the label

was a major hit for that that time and

um we are still like you know going

strong

so yeah this was my story and now again

[Music]

the dream you want to achieve will come

to you if your intention and the circle

is right

just just just believe that what goes

around comes around

believe in karma that’s me and i’m gonna

wrap this up by

one of my rap this

thank you guys
